Conpunct

Could anyone enlighten me about the origins of the question mark and
exclamation mark? I'm intrigued as to whether their invention is
documented.

<closely related> I sometimes wonder whether any human cultures use a
different semantic structure (i.e. different from the usual Western
comma/period/clause/sentence conventions), as I'm trying to make my conla=
ng
Rahha bend away from that a bit, but I can't stop thinking that way.
Thoughts?
